I think the Tom Baker was always going to sell well enough to make them happy (I hope so anyhow), I just hope that the Hartnell can do likewise if that truly does go up before the end of the year.

I'm tempted to get this, but it's quite a lot, especially since I have Ten on pre-order and would like to get the 50th anniversary Eleven.

So, it was made available at 18:00 BST? That's not what the pre-order notification said. :/

Not to be macabre, but this was my thinking, too. He appears at a good amount of cons in the UK, but not so much here.

Whoa, took their word it was opening at 6pm GMT not BST (4am here in Oz). Glad I didn't miss out!

The pre-order notification said 6 pm GMT. The UK is currently in British Summer Time, which is an hour ahead of GMT.

This is a case of deja vu...all over again!

I am sure by GMT they meant local time. Here in Mountain Standard Time we don't say MST+1 during daylight savings. If we say 11:00 am MST it means 11:00 MST time. If you thought they meant GMT+1 you must have been over thinking things.

Dragged myself out of bed at 3am, realised I needed to wake up at 4am instead, got up again at 4am, put in my order, came into this thread and turns out the PO started at 3am, an hour earlier than stated. A bit surprised and pretty happy I didn't miss out.

Yeah, c'mon guys, your sat at a computer. You have instant access to a world clock!

A world clock doesn't help when the PO time is an hour earlier than the advertised time

That's not the problem. Put simply, BCS provided the wrong time. It's not a massive issue, but it could easily be misleading.

42:78dm.

I am in GMT +1. Meaning it would've gone online at 7pm my time. It went online at 7pm my time.

I'm confused. I'm going back to bed and maybe it'll make sense when I get up.

But no matter, everyone's happy

I did over-estimate how many Dr Who figure nerds would be at their keyboards trying to buy them though.
